    The Leinster thread

    That's 3 guys who are really 8s. Not sure how balanced that'd be. Dunno why Marcus Rea doesn't see more games, everytime he's playing, he does, to my eyes at least, a good job at the breakdown.

    'tis an interesting conundrum.

    The Leinster thread

    Not sure that Max Deegan is the kinda player we need - and also not sure where Max Deegan is with regards to where his potential ceiling was once upon a time. He's missed out on an awful lot of the bigger games that would have been vital stepping stones on the learning curve. We have more than...

    Cockerill has it bang on...

    Uh, why? Surely you don't believe it makes the game more "accessible"? Do you really think people decide to watch a match based on names on players' backs?

    Cockerill has it bang on...

    Aside from the cost to the teams of doing it of course.

    URC 2023 /2024 Round 15

    jaysus - night and day sharper compared to last week. Cooney demonstrating just how off the pace Doak is.

    The Ulster Thread

    Desperately poor. While we somehow managed to have lots of possession, the breakdown work was often weak and ineffectual, leading to slow ball - not helped by Doak's rather ponderous style. Then any backplay was static, consistently exhibiting poor passing and lateral. Without the ball, our...

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    'cos it was soooo obvious, I presumed it had bounced before he first touched it...?

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    I wouldn't given the Carre arm as a knock on. No way was it clear unless there is another angle I've not seen. Don't think it materially affected what was going to happen - which was McIlroy knocking it on. We didn't deserve the win and I think the blues have every right to feel robbed.

    Jaysus. To call us shite does a disservice to the usefulness of shite as a fertiliser.

    A great big Munster thread

    Not really... Paris is a dump covered in dogshit. Who sensible would want to live there. (Even from Limerick. :D )

    *holds thumb and forefingers in little hands together* But it was the best COVID China Virus cure, I'll guarantee it. No one knows more about curing China Virus than me. *picks up a small glass of water in 2 little hands and drinks it like a 3 year old* I got my bleach from Target - and I...

    The technology thread

    WTF you on about? If that one woman worked harder and sought "efficiencies" and "streamlining", she'd be able to do it herself in 6 months. Oh, actually, there is another priority job for that woman to do - mind the 2 year old - it should only take a couple of months. When that's done, we'll...

    A Political Thread pt. 2

    ...going over what was shot down where, by whom and when, then gauging the effectiveness of their respective defence and attack. In the foreground, f**k knows. The sensible thing for Israel to do would be take the win. They got the general in Damascus, and they got to demonstrate to their...

    The technology thread

    As far as I know, its still very much PR stunt territory. My knowledge is definitely out of date, but I don't think optical diffusion has gone away to a point you can target beyond a few km without pouring Mega Watts or even Giga Watts into the effort. Then there is the question of dwell time...

    Some big changes happening. Petrie already gone as CEO. Don't think we'll miss him. Kitshoff returning to the Stormers - good player but not really a massive difference maker to our fortunes. Expecting future clear out in the summer as the wage bill is trimmed dramatically.

    The Ukraine War thread

    From what I gather production rates on Su-57 are around 12/year at the moment. Broken Wing could prob explain better than me, but its not just fatigue loading on the airframes, which, as you say, should be relatively negligible for a 9g rated airframe unless Ivan and Igor are utterly...

    The Ukraine War thread

    Dunno if its wishful thinking or not, but just throwing this out there. Seen a few people speculate about the number of flight hours being accrued in the airframes of the Russian Air Force. We all know how fantastic their maintenance schedules appear to be, and its also fair to say that...

    - They were. Mayday called and the result was the authorities just about had time to get the bridge closed to traffic by time of collision. Only people in the water are from the unfortunate work crew who probably were too far away to be made aware. Seconds counted and the poor bstarts were on...
